Range Rover (L405)

Powertrain

The Range Rover has two diesel engines options and one petrol engine;

• 3.0 L V6 turbo diesel producing 258 PS (190 kW; 254 hp) of power and 600 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft) of torque,
• 4.4 L V8 turbo diesel produces 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) of power and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque
• 5.0 L V8 petrol engine unit with two versions
  • the naturally aspirated engine produces 375 PS (276 kW; 370 hp) of power and 510 N⋅m (376 lb⋅ft) of torque
  • the supercharged version produces 510 PS (375 kW; 503 hp) of power and 625 N⋅m (461 lb⋅ft) of torque.
• A supercharged 3.0 L petrol V6 developing 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) was added to the range in some export markets in 2013.
• A 2.0 L I4 Ingenium petrol Plug-in Hybrid engine Avariable 2019 Land Rover Range Rover P400e.

All engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Gears are selected from the Drive Select rotary shifter on the centre console or the driver can also manually select gears via the paddle shift controls on the steering wheel.

The car has permanent four-wheel drive with 50/50 torque split and a two-speed transfer case for high and low range options.

Suspension

The Range Rover has electronic cross-linked air suspension with variable ride height. Multiple suspension modes are provided as standard, including: access, normal on-road, off-road and extended height. The car has an automated load leveling mechanism.

Adaptive dynamics continuously analyse vehicle movements over 500 times per second, reacting instantaneously to road conditions and driver actions. Variable dampers adjust to maintain a composed and balanced ride. The dynamic response system independently adjusts and monitors front and rear suspension units, reducing the amount of body roll during cornering, as well as enhancing control and stability at higher speeds.

Terrain Response

The Range Rover’s all-terrain capability features a new second generation Terrain Response system. The system monitors ground conditions to determine the most appropriate response to the terrain and automatically optimises vehicle settings. The system provides settings for grass, gravel, snow, mud, sand, and rock crawl, Terrain Response technology instantly reconfigures transmission, suspension, and traction settings. Controlled Acceleration Control prevents excessive speeds downhill, and Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.

Safety

The Range Rover has driver and passenger airbags (side, seat-front, thorax and pelvis), plus airbags to protect rear-seat passengers.

Other safety aids include cornering brake control, which helps to maintain stability when cornering by adjusting the driver’s generated brake pressure, along with dynamic stability control to maintain control by reducing engine torque and applying braking to the appropriate wheel and correcting understeer or oversteer.
